It's better than them buying an iPad 2 for $499 and then seeing the iPad 3 a couple hours later for the same price. HAHA

Tobad, was hoping not to read this evening. Guess this stream is not true then: http://www.ustream.tv/ltktv
I saw someone in the store yesterday, buying an iPad2. He must be pissed when he sees an iPad3 the next day in the same basket.

With all due respect, there is zero excuse to not do a live stream. EA, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, they all stream their press conferences from E3 to millions of people via dozens of websites and none of them are sitting on the half a trillion dollars that Apple is sitting on.
They could easily do it, the *only* logical explanation is that they don't want anyone to see them screw up.
Live streaming it would make the anticipation and excitement for their products palpable. They already have people lining up a day(s) in advance, they'd sell even more even faster if they live streamed it.
Absolutely no excuse not to live stream it.
Can't see them making a case out of it, probably some internals, looks cool though.
Pull what off? Everyone live blogs it. If anyone has the audacity to live stream it themselves they get kicked out.
I'm so excited. Written down my personal predictions to see how many come right, and how trivial they might look if Apple unveils a spectacular surprise.
that is freaking funny at least he can return it
. I went into a phone store the day before the 4S released and saw some fat girl whining to her mother to buy her an iPhone4 and the mother gave in after about 1 minute of her fat tears and I just laughed so hard
For all the billions they have, I don't understand why they cannot provide live video coverage of their event when they know a lot of us are going to watch it?
It's not because you're rich that you have to waste money.
They probably didn't spend that money because they evaluated that they didn't need to, as people watching the event video live wouldn't be more likely to to buy the iPad than if they watched the video a couple hours after.
Brilliant!
If you total all the viewers for EA, Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft, you might get the number of Apple viewers in Podunk Oklahoma (Just South of Tulsa). It is easy for a small company with no following to stream a presentation. Apple has a few more visitors.
Except for the fact that instead of going to Apple.com and watching it you are forced to go to a news site like Macrumors, 9to5mac, Verge, etc. and are more likely to get excited about the hype? They could either pay to stream it or they could get it streamed for free and get better marketing while doing so. :roll eyes:
Business strategy is Apple's strongest attribute!
T1000 is coming to IPAD
In a bit of curious timing, Liquidmetal Technologies late yesterday announced that it had begun "shipping commercial parts to several of its customers world-wide". While the customers are unnamed, shipments are said to have begun in December and will be continuing in the months ahead. Apple acquired the rights to Liquidmetal's technology related to amorphous metal alloys for use in all consumer electronics applications back in 2010, while Liquidmetal has retained its rights in all other fields of use.
this is the one, Terminator ***** is going to happen on Ipad
I guess every single major press conference at E3 is a total waste of money since they live stream just about all of them.
No offence at all to MacRumors but I'd go with Engadget. Their site's autoblog usually works very well.
